I posted it and it confused me!!!!
torque is pulling power, bhp is speed power
easy
i think??
if you are stuck in the mud and have 1000bhp wheels will spin
same situation with 1000 ft lbs torque = movement
bhp will provide momentum, torque will pull
hence why offroaders use torque, racers use bhp

I'm not helping am i???
 :shock:

Miniman:
If you have a vehicle with 30bhp and 150lbs torque it will acelerate slowly and pull a big heavy trailer up a hill slowly.

If you have a vehicle with 130bhp and only 30lbs torque it will acelerate fast but not pull a big heavy trailer up the hill that easy.

That is how I understand it.

H:
just stick rangie diffs and 1/2 shafts in the 3.9 v8 developes around 220 lb of torque and about 170 bhp if they can withstand that they can withstand your deisel better still put the 2.5 td in your road car and get a v8 for your play car ;)

hi chris
 i have used my 109 with a 3.3 for a year no probs every day for work and greenlaning did a hundred miles before christmas one outing kept up with the 90's and hybrids you just got to adapt your driving to suit you also might get better mpg out of the 3.3 over the 2.5
 good luck with your choice still think you need a rrc :D

Miniman:
Morning guys you both up nice and early. Still got your book p4203 will get it back to you asap. H I cant stick rangie halfshafts in because they to long you are forgetting that its got standard series 3 axels so that is not possible. I wonder if we are going to get any snow to play in.... :)
